Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro case for Windows

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro is the full professional version of the Acrobat PDF editor that was released by Adobe Systems as part of the Acrobat 9 family on June 23, 2008. It was also included with Adobe Creative Suite 3.3, 4, and 5. Technical support ended on June 26, 2013.[1]

New features[]

The professional editions of Adobe Acrobat 9 introduced a new "ClearScan" option to convert text in a scanned document into editable text with a custom font.[2] In "Pro" editions of Adobe Acrobat DC, this feature was updated and renamed to "Editable Text and Images", which uses heuristics to determine the font used in the scan.[3]

Issues[]

Sometimes the ClearScan feature may garble text extracted from a scanned document because of problems with font matching in Windows. A workaround is to go to Tools > Edit > Scanned Documents > Settings and then deselect "Use available system font" under Scanned Document Editing Settings.[4]
